Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of civil aviation air traffic control, and in particular relates to a quantitative evaluation method for handling effects of sudden incidents on high-altitude airways. Background Art

[0002] The flight of an aircraft in the airway is the longest flight segment in the flight plan in terms of flight time and distance, generally referring to the flight at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters above standard atmospheric pressure. Under normal circumstances, aircraft in high-altitude airways include three flight states: ascending, descending and cruising. Since there are many flight conflicts and they are not easy to find, the controller needs to plan the control plan in advance according to the flight plan and make scientific and reasonable control decisions before the risk of conflict occurs. The air traffic control bureaus in various regions of my country and their affiliated units have established indicators for evaluating the efficiency of airway operations in accordance with relevant laws and regulations to judge the business capabilities of controllers, but all indicators are applicable to the performance evaluation under normal operating conditions. When an emergency occurs to a group or individual aircraft in the airway, the controller will follow the corresponding special situation handling checklist for emergency command to ensure the safety of all aircraft operations. However, the currently implemented special situation handling checklist only lists the handling process and coordination steps for dealing with different emergencies, and does not make a scientific and accurate quantitative evaluation of the emergency response capabilities of controllers under high-altitude airway emergencies. The Chinese invention patent "A quantitative evaluation method for control efficiency of high-altitude airway flight" (authorized patent number: ZL202110924769.2) discloses a method for quantitatively evaluating the decision-making ability and technical level of controllers when commanding high-altitude aircraft, but this method is for the method under the normal operation state at high altitude, and is not suitable for the evaluation of the emergency service ability of controllers in high-altitude emergencies; the Chinese invention patent application "A quantitative evaluation method for the handling effect of emergency events in the terminal area" (application number: 202310437771.6) discloses an evaluation method for how to evaluate the emergency response ability of controllers when an emergency event occurs in the terminal area, but the flight characteristics and command strategies of controllers in high-altitude airways are significantly different from those in the terminal area, and the evaluation indicators and evaluation methods involved in the application cannot be fully applied to the emergency command of high-altitude airways. Therefore, formulating a quantitative evaluation method for the handling effect of emergency events in high-altitude airways is of great significance to improving the evaluation of the skill level of controllers and ensuring the safety of the air traffic control system. However, there is currently no unified evaluation method or technical standard for quantifying the emergency service capabilities of controllers in high-altitude route emergencies.

[0064] Embodiment: During the process of directing an aircraft flying on a high-altitude route, a controller suddenly received an emergency information report from the pilot of an aircraft Z that was leaving and ascending to 6,900 meters that its left engine had failed and it needed to return immediately. At this time, there were two incoming aircraft in front of the aircraft, flying at altitudes of 6,600 meters and 6,000 meters respectively, which had descended to the target altitude according to the controller's instructions and were ready to be handed over to the terminal area control unit. The controller immediately confirmed with the pilot of aircraft Z whether to declare "emergency" or "distress". After learning that aircraft Z did not need to dump fuel and asking about the number of people on board and whether there were any dangerous goods, the controller promptly provided aircraft Z with the flight information of the high-altitude route, terminal area and departure airport, as well as the current flight weather and air traffic information; then, the controller immediately contacted the military according to the emergency command plan to open part of the temporary airspace for conflict coordination; then, the controller directed the above two incoming aircraft to leave the route to the open temporary airspace for maneuvering flight, and at the same time directed aircraft Z to descend and turn the course to fly directly to the handover position in the terminal area. After issuing the above instructions, the controller immediately informed the shift supervisor of the situation and asked him to notify the relevant units to prepare a special situation handling plan. 15 minutes later, aircraft Z was handed over to the terminal area control unit as a priority. The two incoming aircraft returned to the route after deviating from the route for 17 minutes. At the same time, the overall route resumed normal operation and all flow control restrictions were cancelled. During the handling of this emergency, no aircraft violated the safety interval and safety altitude on the high-altitude route, and a total of 21 flights were restricted from normal access, including inbound and outbound flights and high-altitude cruise flights.
